well, if memory serves, the 05 GT sohc engine does have variable valve timing... which would lead me to believe that the 06 cobra dohc engine will probably have it too... and we will have "vtec" cobras, but i'm assuming that the guy in the video (downloading now) hasn't snagged an 06 cobra early.

Thats some funny ****. At first I thought that guy was just talking out his ***. By the time he was talking about the weight reduction of the engraving I gave up on this guy actually being that stupid and figured it had to be a joke. Its sad to think their really are guys that will make up **** to try and sound like they know what they're talking about. I usually just laugh it off. I think I'm gonna have to start calling bull ****.

What's all this '06 Cobra talk? There will be no Cobra until '07.

I didn't feel like downloading this vid again. If I recall correctly, it was just a joke and the Cobra makes around 460rhwp...definitely not rice.

uh
no
the vtec adds "about 280rwhp", and he has both a turbo and a supercharger, and is thinking of adding annother supercharger by "this kenny bell dude or something like that". i think you must be thinking of annother car unit.

no cobra till 07? bogus! C6 vette is gonna eat up it's marketshare like mad.

is that a bad thing? I hope Ford keeps the 07 Cobra aimed at the new Fbody GM is designing. I can't even fathom a Mustang that's being aimed at taking out Vettes (stoopid 03/04!!!). I've always enjoyed the fact that the Vette has had no real competitor...and it should stay that way

why doesnt a $35k 390hp cobra compete with a $40k 350hp car? it may not offer the complete package that a Z06 has but by god it will give it a good run with regular drivers. i personally dont want a cobra competing with a 5th gen. out of its price range as well as HP range. let the vette handle that without a problem.

I watched the vid and that is the one I was talking about. It was a joke. He actually has some nice bolt ons. Probably 460rwhp like I said earlier.
